1) Unemployment is at an all time high.

2) The housing market has a high risk of crashing.

3) Businesses are at risk of soon going bankrupt.

4) This country on the brink of a social movement that will make #5 worse.

5) COVID-19 HAS NOT GONE AWAY!

6) The world is going through the exact same this as U.S.

And yet we think this magical bubble is going to keep going up, up, up. I’m not a financial advisor, but I would at least prepare for a worse case scenario, which I’m sure most of you are.
